Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Basically this is a book in which the author, instead of using the tried and true method of using either graphs or tables to coordinate his information, decided to write everything out in long hand. The result is the reader getting his or her head over-stuffed with names, titles, chart figures, sales figures, years, etc. and finishing each chapter and finally the book with the feeling of having eaten too much rather than being nourished.

IBreaking Records gives a narrative history of American popular music and the pop music industry. Organisedby decade, each chapter gives an overview of the major developments, technologically, commercially, and musically, for all types of popular music making. Technological developments, from the birth of radio and the phonograph to MP3 and burning CDs, are discussed in relation to how they affected musicians and the industry itself. Key performers and their major hits are profiled by decade. This is a compelling story of how business and art have interacted, and sometimes clashed, through a century of new musical developments.
